Han Yu chatted with Shi Sen for a while longer before leaving.

After watching Han Yu walk away, Chu Liu said to Shi Sen, who was beside him, “Han Yu is right. You’ve just joined the team, so try not to make enemies for yourself.”

Chu Liu knew that being too high profile was definitely not a good thing, since showing off would attract too much attention.

“I know, but she provoked me first.” Shi Sen was very straightforward. She definitely couldn’t appease people she didn’t like.

As Chu Liu looked at Shi Sen, he recalled her stubborn attitude in the village. Although Shi Sen was a little domineering, she wouldn’t take the initiative to cause trouble.

“Alright, being yourself and avoiding being bullied is also a skill.” Chu Liu felt that although the little girl in front of him looked petite, she definitely had the ability to protect herself.

Chu Liu sent Shi Sen to the door of the dormitory. Before they parted, he reminded her worriedly, “Remember to look for me if anything happens.”

Shi Sen nodded and returned to her dormitory after saying goodbye to Chu Liu. As soon as she entered, he saw He Yue comforting Feng Shu.

“Shi Sen, you’re back.” After He Yue found out that Shi Sen and Feng Shu competed, she greeted Shi Sen awkwardly.

When Shi Sen saw the obvious hostility in Feng Shu’s eyes, she nodded at He Yue without saying anything.

“Hmph, He Yue, can’t you tell that she’s unwilling to talk to you? She just won by luck. What’s there to be smug about?!” Feng Shu sat on the chair as she said in an unfriendly tone.

“I have nothing to be smug about.” Shi Sen walked up to Feng Shu and said, “You were the one who took the initiative to compete with me. I didn’t expect you to be so sore loser!”

Shi Sen didn’t give Feng Shu any slack. She was unwilling to compromise with someone who clearly treated her as an enemy.

“You!” Feng Shu got up from her chair to fight Shi Sen, but He Yue stopped her.

“Enough, competitions between team members are common, so stop arguing. We still have training tomorrow, so rest early.”

He Yue didn’t know who was right and who was wrong, but she didn’t want the two of them to fall out.

Shi Sen ignored Feng Shu and brought her toiletries to the bathroom. The two of them had completely fallen out.

The next morning, the ping pong players gathered in the training ground.

Mr. Liu called Shi Sen out of the line and introduced her to everyone. “This is the new team member, Shi Sen. In the future, you guys will practice together. You guys have to get along well!”

Mr. Liu patted Shi Sen’s shoulder gently and said to her, “Shi Sen, introduce yourself.”

“Hello, everyone. My name is Shi Sen.” After Shi Sen nodded at everyone, everyone applauded symbolically.

“It’s over?” Seeing that Shi Sen was silent, Liu De asked in confusion.

Shi Sen nodded and didn’t say anything else.

Liu De felt dismayed. Yesterday, he had heard from the team that Shi Sen had defeated Feng Shu by a crushing landslide. From her personality, she was as ruthless as Chu Liu.

Liu De was a little worried about her future, but he still appeared calm on the surface and began training as usual.

Shi Sen’s physique was very good. Although this was her first time participating in training, she wasn’t unaccustomed at all.

During the break, Liu De called Shi Sen to the side.

“Little Sen, you have to remember that newcomers have to focus on practicing. Don’t just focus on competing with others. Be more down-to-earth,” Liu De said to Shi Sen earnestly.

“Got it, Coach.” Shi Sen’s impassive expression made Liu De a little worried.

“Do you really understand?” Liu De was still worried about Shi Sen and instructed, “You have to pay attention to your relationship with your teammates. Building good interpersonal relationships is also a part of learning.”

“Yes, I understand.” Shi Sen’s expression didn’t change.

Liu De sighed helplessly and let Shi Sen go back to practice.

Looking at Chu Liu, who was also practicing not far away, Liu De muttered in frustration, “Do talented people all have such socially awkward personalities?”

Shi Sen didn’t notice Liu De’s concerns and played with the ball in his hand very relaxedly.

“Your name is Shi Sen?”

Looking towards the sound of the voice, Shi Sen saw a familiar short-haired girl standing in front of her. Shi Sen felt that this girl was a little rude, so she didn’t reply immediately.

“She’s very arrogant. Sister Ping, don’t provoke her.” Feng Shu looked at Shi Sen provocatively, as if she hoped that Shi Sen would have a conflict with the short-haired girl in front of her.
